Keep Comments in Columns

What inspired this wish list request? 

 

I have some convoluted formulas that I'm stuggling to keep straight and I don't want to make my column names longer than they already are. I want to remember what I was working on when I come back to it in a few days. I'll often put some comments in the source script (or just a blank script) and wanted to do the same.

 

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

 

When you comment in a column the comments are dropped. Can we keep them?

 

Why is this idea important? 

 

It'll allow me to come back to previous work with a better idea of what I've done. Sometimes it can feel like I need to start from 0 if I can't exactly remember where I was. And other people will have more clues when looking at one of my files.

you can use JSL code to add a pseudo comment, e.g.

mycomment = "this is a comment to better understand the ideas behind the  formula when I come back later";

not ideal - but maybe good enough as a workaround till there is an official solution.
